Shrinxhips and post-partum binding...

Has anyone had experience using postpartum binders? I am very interested in the Shrinxhips Ultra. This will be my 3rd and final baby and I want to get my hips as small as I can after (duh.) I know they have cheaper versions of the belly bandit but I haven't found too many cheaper options for hip binding. My belly usually returns to normal pretty quick but I've always been a little hip-y. I have heard the Shrinx is uncomfortable but if it works I think I could put up with it. I would hate to waste $55 if it doesn't do anything though.

Bookmarking! I asked for an abdominal binder post C section with my DD and my nurse said that they were for abdominal surgery patients only . I'm not really sure what exactly she thought my C section was....but I never got my binder. I'm using a different hospital this go round for the nursing staff reason, mostly.

I wore shrinx hips after my third pregnancy. The Velcro gave out but before it had, it worked great. Gave me three inches back of the four that had widened from pregnancies. This time however I'm using a hip corset which uses ties and not Velcro. It's wider so its really hard to sit in, but I wear it at night with no issue. I highly recommend it!

shrinxhips worked so well for me after my first. less than week and i was in my jeans (around week 6 or 7 i started using it and all my belly was pretty much gone) I think its really useful if your hips are where you are still at your biggest. some people need binding at the hips, some more of their bellies...but for me it was great.

I used shrinxhips after my last pregnancy. I swear it worked. I was able to go down a pant size after I lost all my baby weight. I wore it about 85% of the time (for the first 6 wks postpartum). I usually didn't wear it in public because it gave me a crazy muffin top! Ha. I also wore a maternity support thing like the belly bandit. It was babies r us brand. I totally recommend that too. It wasn't comfortable, but it made a huge difference.
